[PATCH] Fields in virDomainPtr which appear to be never used

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Below is the definition of struct _virDomain from internal.h. I may be missing something big (well, it wouldn't be the first time), but as far as I can see some of these fields are never used, and some are set but can never be read.

struct _virDomain {
    unsigned int magic;  /* specific value to check */
OK

    int uses;            /* reference count */
OK

    virConnectPtr conn;  /* pointer back to the connection */
OK

    char *name;          /* the domain external name */
OK

    char *path;          /* the domain internal path */
This field is set in src/xs_internal.c, but nowhere in libvirt does it appear to be read. The only other time it is reference is in hash.c where it is freed if non-NULL.

    int id;              /* the domain ID */
OK

    int flags;           /* extra flags */
Apparently this field could be set to DOMAIN_IS_SHUTDOWN or DOMAIN_IS_DEFINED. However neither of these symbols are used, and moreover this structure field looks like it is never written or read.

    unsigned char uuid[VIR_UUID_BUFLEN]; /* the domain unique identifier */
OK

    char *xml;           /* the XML description for defined domains */
This field is, as far as I can tell, never set anywhere. However the code in hash.c does check whether it is set and will free it upon destruction of the _virDomain object.

};

With this analysis in mind, attached is a patch which removes these three fields (path, flags, xml) and the unused virDomainFlags, with no apparent ill-effects.

Rich.
